"Excellent Instructor!!

Our son has been working with Al for nearly a year and we are very pleased with the growth we have seen in our sonâs drumming ab

ility!Al seeks my sonâs input when selecting songs to teach him and encourages my son to apply his knowledge to learn new songs on his own. They go over what he taught himself and then he gives him new beats to incorporate to what he knows. My son truly enjoys learning from a skilled professional like Al. He is an awesome instructor!!!"

"Great Motavator!!

Julie is our first experience with a piano teacher. She has been instructing my somewhat shy 6 year old for about 9 months now. She is

amazing with my daughter. She is very encouraging and stays right on her level while pushing her to expand her knowledge in music. I couldn't be more pleased in our first experience. Julie even had my daughter performing in front of an audience just 4 months after her first lesson. A memory my child will have forever."

"Helped me step up my playing

I had been teaching myself piano for many years when I reached a point where I was not improving and realized I needed a tea

cher. Sharon helped me work on my weaknesses as a musician and had a good eye for pieces that helped me build on my strengths. We always had fun working together, and she was always good about working around my busy schedule."

"Debbie S Review

I came to Debbie after not playing the piano for 40 years. I'm an older adult and dealing with illness. I told Debbie that I wanted to ta

ke up the piano for improving mental focus. She was understanding and patient with me. I felt at ease with her style of instruction. I had to stop taking lessons for other reasons but I feel that I was beginning to focus and concentrate better but the best part is that I am playing the piano for my own personal enjoyment. Debbie opened a door for me that I hope to continue with. Thank you Debbie"

"Versatile, talented and great attitude!

Diedrich really takes the time to figure what your goals are, and he works hard to get you to where you want to b

e. He is a performer himself, so he's got a ton of helpful advice and methods to improve your guitar playing and overall performance. I'd highly recommend him as a teacher."

Review by Neisah

"I want to express to people everything that Tony has done for me: He gave me an opportunity that I would call "once in a lifetime". He gave me a chance t

o pursue my dream and as of right now, my dream is falling into place. Tony has always been available for me when needed, anytime I need to record or work with new material. He always has time and he's also perfected my music and made it better than I ever thought it would be. Thank you for making my dream come true."

Review by Bella

"I have Molly R. to thank for getting me out of my fear of singing. At first, I was so nervous that I couldn't even sing along to the radio with my friends

! I met her through a class with Boldly Me, and then ended up taking lessons with her to prepare for my first big audition with StarStruck (I know right? I love performing but I get shy about singing). Though I didn't get in, she had given me that boost of confidence and the arsenal of skills/tricks that I needed to keep trying. I worked with her again to audition for Stage1's "Seussical"- and got in as the "lead Wickersham"!! Molly has helped me with so much; she teaches you beyond what you could expect of yourself and guides you to your fullest potential.. all while keeping it fun and comfortable!! Molly doesn't just help you learn how to sing, she helps you learn to love to sing."
